Product catalog summary
Overview
The CAE Acoustic Compass is a 3D sound intensity probe designed for precise acoustic measurements across a wide frequency range. It is particularly useful for applications in small spaces and is characterized by its ultramobility and ease of use, similar to a compass.
Features
  • Online analysis capabilities.
  • Localization in confined spaces.
  • 3D intensity measurement from 40 Hz to 4 kHz.
  • Detection of noise leakage and machinery acoustics.
  • Applicable for cabin acoustics and automotive interiors.
  • Suitable for stationary and quasi-stationary noise sources.
Technical Specifications
  • Array Size: 40 mm x 40 mm.
  • Array Material: Composite Material.
  • Weight (excluding tripod): 0.5 kg.
  • Intensity Probes: 28.
  • Sample Rate: 48 kHz.
  • Microphone Frequency Range: 10 Hz to 24 kHz.
  • Operating Range: < 33 dB to 120 dB.
  • Analysis Dynamic Range: up to 30 dB.
  • Source Distance: 0.01 m to ∞.
  • Resolution: 24-Bit.
  • Interface: Ethernet.
  • Operating Temperature: -40 °C to +60 °C.
  • Operating Humidity: Non-condensing.
Application and Usage
The Acoustic Compass is equipped with 8 microphones that result in 28 intensity probes, allowing for detailed localization of sound sources. It provides a spectrum with amplitude and direction of incidence for each frequency line, displayed on a 3D interface. This system is ideal for identifying noise sources such as cell phones and other localized sound sources, offering both single and multiple point analysis.

Catalog excerpts

Acoustic Compass-1

The CAE Acoustic Compass is a 3D sound intensity probe that is able to measure from low frequencies to high frequencies in 3D. The output of the analysis is a spectrum with amplitude and direction of incidence for each frequency line. The Noise Inspector software shows the direction and the intensity on the 3D display. Intensity measurement systems have a very high dynamic range as there is no algorithm and no beampattern limiting this range. • Online analysis • Localization in small spaces • Ultramobile • Easy to use - like a compass • 3D intensity measurement • Usage from 40 Hz to 4 kHz • Noise leakage detection • Machinery acoustic • Cabin acoustics • Automotive (interieur) • For stationary and quasistationary noise sources CAE Software und Systems GmbH I Noise Inspector \ 40 mm x 40 mm Composite Material 0.5 kg 28 48 kHz 10 Hz to 24 kHz < 33 dB to 120 dB up to 30 dB 0.01 m to to 24-Bit Ethernet -40 °C to +60 °C Non Condensing Acoustic Compass Array Size Array Material Weight (excl.
